Tara Reid has filed a police report after she alleged she was drugged at a Chicago hotel bar over the weekend.

In the police report filed with the Rosemont Public Safety Department, and obtained by Page Six, Reid states she was staying at the DoubleTree hotel in Rosemont, Ill., for a celebrity signing and there “were a whole bunch of YouTubers in the lobby.”

“The whole thing was suspicious but she didn’t know what was going on,” she states in the report.

She says she ordered a glass of white wine and was approached by a man who claimed to be a successful influencer. After going outside to smoke a cigarette with him, she says she saw a napkin over her drink and the last thing she remembers was a couple sitting down next to them.

“The next thing I remember was I was waking up in the hospital around 8 hours or more later not knowing where I was or anything that happened,” she states. “I completely blacked out with no recollection of anything.”

The “American Pie” actress, 50, states her agent picked her up from the hospital after they said she was free to go. She says she had been trying to file a police report since the incident but didn’t know how to from Los Angeles.

“The guy I had the cigarette with texted me the videos of me the next day I thought he was trying to extort saying he could stop the videos going out and he also told me I called security on him and he also confirmed that I only had one drink,” she states.

“I am willing to prosecute,” she says.

Rosemont Public Safety Department Lieutenant Joseph Balogh tells Page Six that they responded to an EMS related incident on Sunday at 12:39 a.m.

“Trained patrol officers assisted Rosemont paramedics with patient care for a sick person call,” Balogh says. “The patient was transported to a local area hospital and no additional reports were created that day.”

Balogh says they spoke with Reid on Tuesday and an online report was submitted, which was received by the Rosemont Detective Division at 4:26 p.m. He notes that they are in communication with the hotel to gather video surveillance “and are committed to investigating this incident fully.”

Reid’s rep previously told Page Six, “Tara Reid has filed a police report after an incident in which she believes her drink was tampered with. She is cooperating fully with the investigation.”

“Tara is recovering and asks for privacy during this traumatic time,” the rep continued. “She also urges everyone to be careful, watch your drinks and never leave them unattended, as this can happen to anyone.”

In an interview with TMZ, Reid said that doctors did not perform a blood alcohol test on her at the hospital.

“They just said that you were drugged. That’s what they said. They said, ‘You got drugged last night at the bar,’” she told the outlet.

Additionally, she noted that she doesn’t know what she was allegedly drugged with because, although she was “tested to see what drug it was,” she “didn’t ask.”

“It was all kind of vague. Like, it was all blurry. 
 I can’t even explain it because I don’t even know what happened,” Reid added.
